Home brew, acetylaldehydes and hangovers I agree that it sounds more like fusels than acetaldehydes. What temp do you ferment and pitch at? |

Home brew, acetylaldehydes and hangovers I have never found the yeast from homebrew to have any effect in inhibiting hangovers. Old wive's tale AFAIAC. |

How do you sanitize the outside of your racking cane? I also keep a spray bottle of StarSan around. Works great on both the inside and outside of the racking cane with minimal sanitizer use. |

Which material for a manifold in a converted cooler mash tun? I have used the same braid in my cooler for 13 years and 392 batches. It's a bit dented, but still functions as well as it did when it was new. |

Does anybody else skim the protein off the top of their boil? I'd guess that's due to not removing proteins from the beer by skimming rather than "yeast nutrition". |
